2 of those arent buggies.The firestorm is a stadium truck, the other is a truggy.What are you using it for?Bashing?Racing?You want something fast?Something that can take a beating?And the jammin for that price is the kit/arr with no motor or electronics, so unless you have your own i would take that off the list.

I would stick with the 1/8 scale buggy imported by ofna.

It's :
the best bang for the buck
has great product / parts support
handles fairly well
is more than fast enough
a neighbor familiar with the vehicle to help with any issues
fun ad hoc spec racing with your neighbor (always more fun when there is no advantage on either side based on equipment)
will go just about anywhere

nope thats the price of the jammin with the entire kit actually, radio controller, nitro bottle, glow spark, and all tht stuff. Im lookin for somethin to fool around with, just have fun with, and i guess be able to take a beating as well (hahaha....). My nighbors have the Ultra LX One and its a pretty powerfull buggy. They just got into the whole rc thing (loaded) decided to buy some cars, now as i speak theyre racin boats in the pond at there house hahaha. So just racin with my neighbor is probly all id do. My neighbor had alot of trouble with his Ultra One at first though, alot things where breaking on him. Maybe it was just that specific one? Im not sure what to think. What are the speeds on all of the buggys/truggys/trucks?

Ill say lx one as well than,it is a great buggy, plus your friend has one so you guys can share parts and workin on em should be a lil easier.They're pretty tough too.Sure you dont want a boat so you can race them?lol

usrockband

Ok so ive narrowed it down to the Ofna Ultra LX One, or the Ofna 7 Tq Black ($279.99) Which is better? Both are on www.rcplanet.com

I've ordered from rcplanet before with no issues. They do have a pretty good selection. Why not have a look on Amainhobbies.com or Towerhobbies.com?

You should come stop by the track in Oro on a Sunday........you'll get some good ideas there!
